Antminer B3 Bytom Mining First review

[mindtrip]

So I was one of the lucky few to receive my B3 Early today and I wanted to post some of the initial problems with setting it up so far.

First Antpool seems to be the only pool online at the moment

Second the Domain name doesn't seem to resolve yet so for the URL you should use stratum+tcp://47.95.178.159:6666 for now until there domain resolves stratum-btm.antpool.com:6666

You can go on and manually create a worker name or antpool will automatically create one for you i used "MyAntPoolID.B3"

Here is a screen shot of it running I was one of the first in the US to join antpool


And here it is coming online to Antpool

Edit 5/4/18 Looks like antpool is down I recommend mining to UUPOOL for now
Use this for URL: stratum+tcp://btm.uupool.cn:9221
Worker: yourwallet address

How loud is this thing compared to an S9 or GPU set up?

I bought one but hasn't arrived yet , may have to wait until after the weekend as it doesn't seem like it's going to make it past customs by end of today.

It is about the same noise level as a D3

antpool is now live?

[mindtrip]

for me its still only showing alive via the IP

Mine is up and running now as well! Has been on antpool for 15 minutes but still showing 0 h/s how long did yours run before showing on antpool?

Update: after 20 minutes it is showing some if I click on minutely on the hashrate chart.

Do you have any info about estimated earnings per day? I myself are true to my GPU rig but its always interesting to read about ASIC earnings

Has anyone received any rewards?

Pool luck is empty.

So far looks like Antpool is having difficulties it has not hit a block. I see most of the network hashrate is on UUPOOL Now I switched and started getting a balance

Thank you.

How can you tell where the network hash rate is going?

I have a lot of rejected and discarded shares. What about you?

Yep you are definitely lucky to have gotten yours already, I ordered mine as soon as I could from the first batch.. and it shipped today, at least I should get it by monday. I picked DHL as the shipping which may be why it took longer to ship? What shipping option did you guys pick and when did they ship? I think picking UPS may have shipped quicker

Which exchange are you guys mining to? Or using a wallet?

I'm using a wallet and used UPS for shipping. Received mine just an hour ago.

As far as I know no one has reported rewards with Antpool as of yet.

Reports of rewards on UUPOOL however now the pool looks to be reporting dead.

Please post if your having any positive results.

UUpool seems to be working fine for me.

Is this your setting on UUPOOL?

stratum+tcp://btm.uupool.cn:9221
Bytom address
123

Just received my B3 and have it up and running but I'm not familiar with Bytom.  I installed the wallet and got to a place where I can create an address and have an address that starts with "b".  Is that what it should look like?
